Did Hurricane Irene invalidate your NYS Property Condition Disclosure Statement?


New York residential real estate sellers, agents, brokers, and attorneys may need to follow-up with their clients due to Hurricane Irene.  She may have invalidated your NYS Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which could affect your property resales/sales.

flooded driveway?

The NYS Property Condition Disclosure Act requires the seller of residential real property to present a signed statement of known conditions and information concerning the property to the seller. Your building inspectors may have inspected a dry site, not after a hurricane.

Specifically, line items: 10, 11, 20, 28, 30 thru 47 with respect to flooding, damages, and other conditions. Failure to disclose updated conditions could affect your sales. Please consult counsel as needed.
